Amazing

The best face wash for teens
Bought for my teenage children and it's simply the best. My son has really bad eczema, so we've had troubles finding a face wash that helped with acne, but didn't irritate his skin. Given there is nothing weird or artificial in this, it's been excellent for him.

Love this candle
Such a great smell. And a great gift for anyone who loves tennis.

Stunning & Practical
Originally had a bunch of glass shelves on brackets in my dining room to display glassware. Dust was a mess; everything always looked dirty. Additionally, I was always stressed someone might knock the glass shelves causing not just a mess, but someone to get hurt. I decided to take a chance on these in place of the glass shelves (I did four total, two on either side of a window), and it was the best decision I made for that room. It truly is a marriage of form and function. And now I can actually enjoy entertaining.

Exactly what we needed.
Bought two for a tv/family room (sits underneath the tv). Assembly was a breeze; looks amazing and gave us so much storage.

Gorgeous
Installed this in a small space as the main ceiling light, and paired it with one of Tala's light engine light bulbs. It's so much more striking in person!

I love this bag. I use it both for travel, but also as a coral for toiletry items I keep in my purse. Also stylish enough to use as a clutch. And the plastic interior is a great practical touch! Highly recommend.

I'm so happy with this coffee maker. I have tried a lot over the years, and this one beats all of them (including the Ratio Six). It can be as technical or straight forward as you prefer. But above all, makes great coffee.

This with tonic and a lemon slice is summer in a drink. I serve this for brunch parties and evening gatherings.

One of my all-time favorite glasses. Works great for wine, but I also use it for cocktails and even coffee and certain desserts. Dishwasher safe makes it practical too.

I use this toner after washing my face. Love that it uses all natural ingredients, and is anti inflammatory, and anti bacterial.
